The stoning

The stoning

In Cobb, a small town in the Australian outback, the local schoolteacher is found stoned to death. On the town's northern outskirts, the large new immigration detention centre is viewed by the locals with suspicion. Tensions are high: between whites and Aboriginals, between immigrants at the refugee detention centre and the townies. Still mourning the recent death of his father, Detective Sergeant Giorgios 'George' Manolis returns to his childhood hometown to investigate. He soon realises that the place where he grew up has changed. Cobb once thrived, but is now poor and derelict. As Manolis negotiates the simmering anger of a community destroyed by alcohol and drugs, the ghosts of his past flicker to life.
